KODIAK FURNITURE Aspen Futon Set with Reclaim Mocha Finish, Suede Gray

This thing has been wonderful. I have owned it for five years now. I've been using it as a bed every night and it's still very comfortable to sleep on. As you can imagine, in five years the middle is a little less springy than when it first started, but that's what you get after five years. A piece of the wood did snap, though that was my doing. I'm a bit past the 250-pound weight limit, and as such, it's my fault. Fixing it was pretty simple. Some screws, wood glue, and a ratchet strap for a bit. would purchase a different frame as having a armrest is kind of needed, but I attached one myself.

I’m in love with this futon! The quality is amazing~ evenly stained wood, rich dark finish, thick firm-but-cushy mattress, gorgeous plush suede fabric.It came in two packages on the same day. I ordered it on a Saturday and it arrived the following Saturday. The mattress was tightly rolled up and I would advise having a large space when you cut it open because BAM it sort of explodes into its full size very quickly! The frame and all of the pieces were packaged extraordinarily well; each piece is color and number coded to match the instructions. There is a very clear, very concise instruction book included, and three packages of hardware. The hardware is sandwiched in pieces of cardboard with slots for each piece, and clearly marked which pieces of hardware you will need for each step. (I’ll advise you to cut the hardware packages open laying flat, if you cut them open any other way the pieces may tumble out of their slots and then you’ll have to match them up by the pictures in the booklet).The two main packages were pretty heavy and I had to get them up a flight of stairs to my apartment. I’m a very small 51 year old woman, 120 lbs and I’m not a particularly athletic girl, and I was able to do it without too much trouble by opening the frame package at the bottom of the stairs and carrying the pieces up one at a time instead of trying to muscle the entire box up the stairs. I was also able to assemble this completely by myself within 1.5 hours, with hardly any difficulty. When they say don’t tighten the bolts until the end of each step, they really mean it. It will save you some frustration if you follow that advice. The hardest part was getting the mattress onto the frame because it is very thick and bulky. Once I had it on, it settled into the frame nicely because the mattress is hinged. Be sure to read the tag that tells you which side of the mattress needs to sit on the frame.It is extremely comfortable to sit in. It feels very sturdy and came in perfect condition with no splits, cracks, scratches or flaws. There are no weird puckers or bad stitching in the fabric and even the zipper is very well placed and tidy looking.I highly doubt I will ever use it as a bed so I can’t vouch for that comfort or the complexities of moving it from couch to bed and vice versa.I love the muted colors and the way it fits into my decor. I highly recommend this futon for all these reasons. This is not a cheap sloppy dorm couch; it is quality and durable and beautiful in looks. Buy this, you will be very pleased and comfy.

We got this futon for our spare room/man cave. This is primarily used as a couch, but wanted to have something to use as a bed if we have a guest. It's very sturdy and took about 2 hours to assemble with 2 people (definitely don't think this could be done alone). It did arrive with a piece that was split a little bit (see photos)...so far it doesn't seem to affect the stability. Pretty comfortable to sit on (haven't slept on it yet). Good quality for the price!

I've been holding off writing a review for a few months now, because I wanted to be able to comment on the more long term quality and functionality of this futon.I've had it almost 6 months now. I am very happy with this futon.For me it's a good middle of the road futon as far as balancing price and quality. Obviously there are fancier, heavy duty futons... but they also cost way more. Then there are the super cheap futons... but they feel like it and usually fall apart fairly quickly.This one hits right in the middle, a more reasonable price for a good quality item.We mostly use it as a couch in my office, but we've also had guests sleep on it. It works well for both. My guest said it was comfortable to sleep on for the multiple nights she used it. And as a couch it's comfortable and doesn't take up too much room.It does feel sturdy and I think it will last a good while.As far as assembly I found it not too challenging. I did most of it myself, only needing help for the final step of hooking the large pieces together. Just pay attention to the instructions and you shouldn't have too hard a time.Hope this helpful, I spent a couple months trying to find and decide on this futon. I'm glad I did and am happy with the result!

This thing is great. I put it together in about 2 hours. I needed a little help to attach the base to the body, but other than that I put it all together by myself. The mattress is thick and comfortable, and very durable. The frame is very sturdy. This thing is better than more expensive futons I have seen.

I like the look of the futon. It’s pretty comfortable, if you like a pretty firm mattress. It took a little time to put together, but, that was just because I was doing it by myself. The assembly instructions were clear.My disappointment is in the fact that the end piece on the left end of the couch is coming apart. It was all one piece that had been preassembled by the manufacturer. It has only been opened and slept on twice. It is used as a couch on an almost daily basis. You just hate to spend almost $400 to have it falling apart in less than 4 months. Not cool.

When you put the frame in the sofa position with the mattress, the sides pops out. One side more than the other and then we discovered when the dowels popped out one of them had a screw stuck in it. Unfortunately we will probably have to look for a different frame that can take the weight of the mattress.**UPDATE** 10-06-2021 I actually just got around to "trying to rig it" to keep it together until I can get a new Futon Frame. This was a waste of money as the sides are always coming apart and if you don't catch it right away the screws split the wood.

While in the market for a futon, a cashier at Ross told me he had recently purchased one from Amazon. Curiously I started shopping. Reading reviews I found everyone had the same thing to say... SUPER COMFORTABLE! I decided to buy one since I could return it if it wasn’t suitable! Since received I have slept on it every night. It’s more firm and comfortable compared to my memory foam mattress.Only complaint: folding it up into seating position is ridiculous! TIP: tie a dog leash behind the back in the center. Grab and pull up. Use your knees. Or be creative. There are ways around it.
